I created a VM using libvirt with the following configuration [*]

<tpm model='tpm-tis'>
  <backend type='emulator' version='1.2'/>
  <alias name='tpm0'/>
</tpm>

I do not have issues with suspend so far with unmodified v6.3-rc7.

It would be nice to have a script that gives a guaranteed crash with
unmodified kernel even if run for some hours.

Instead of using QEMU monitor interface and /sys/power/state, I wonder
if a stress test could be based on looping rtcwake for easier comparison
of results?
